After watching the movie "3 IDIOTS", your reflections on the 3 characters, which one would you choose?

 The movie "3 IDIOTS" is a story of the three engineering students in Imperial College of Engineering who finds their friendship as making themselves like idiots but learning from it. The main casts were Farhan Qureshi acted by R. Madhavan, Raju Rastogi acted by Sharman Joshi and Ranchoddas Shamaldas “Rancho” Chanchad acted by Aamir Khan.

Farhan was forced to study engineering because since he was born his father wanted him to be an engineer. That is why he pursues engineering as what his father’s wishes for him though what he wanted to become is a wildlife photographer. He loves to take pictures of wildlife and this is where enjoy his life but because of being obedient and being afraid to his father, he granted his father’s wanted to him. Being a child to his parents, Farhan really tries to learn what must be the learning to be an engineer. He is silent once his professor is around. The first day as he arrives at the Imperial College of Engineering, he found her name as well as his room number. He reads the names of his companion in his room, who are Raju and Rancho. He is confused with Raju because Raju keeps praying. Farhan is really a nice friend to Raju and Rancho because his personality, the attitude is fit with their relationships and the bonds that they have. The friendship he had with them is really fun; they enjoy so much their companies.

Raju is the person who really works hard for his family. They are in financially damaged, his father is in sick and his mother has only a little salary that could only cater for their daily needs. Also, he had his sister; at early age he supposedly gets married but unfortunately not yet because his partner wants to get money from his sister. Raju went to Imperial College of Engineering in order to raise his family in poverty. The sympathy that he had with his family is unconditional because he really loves his family especially his parents. Being a child with his parents, he is loving and concern when it talks about to his family. He is also a nice friend of Rancho and Farhan, the friendship that he had with them cannot be fade. One attitude that I admire with him is being so loyal, truthful and gives so much value with the friendship he had with Rancho and Farhan. Raju as being a friend, though he is negative sometimes and did not believe Rancho at first, still he had the trust and the learning with Rancho.

Rancho is the person who really wants to learn in a simple way. I remember, he told the professor why make things difficult if you could explain it simple. Rancho is an intelligent man; he loves to learn many things around him. He likes to explore and try to invent something that comes out with his mind. He always think especially when dealing with new creations he was about to think, he always reach his hands to those he thinks that person needs help. As a friend with Farhan and Raju, cannot compare to anyone because he is a person that always think first his friends than himself. He really cares his friends and really enjoys the company with them. What I never forget in him in the movie is his great mind, the way he bring himself to others, the way he deal with others and thinking new ideas to create new technology. His thinking capacity really helps him to think new ideas, he easily thinks and he is confident of what he wanted to create. Rancho never give up in things, except love, I think so. He is not ashamed in talking people instead he shares what he is thinking, his ideas and what he believes. Rancho has principles in life, he believes on what he really thinks is right and also what he do what he wanted to do.

He is actually unbelievable because of the quality that he has. I would say he is amazing with his works, his influences that he brought to the school, professors, and classmates especially Farhan and Raju.

The story begins when Farhan narrates the whole story about their friendship and the relationship they had during the days they were together. In the first day of school, Farhan looked up where the room he is to join. Fortunately, he will join a room together with Raju and Ranchu. Ranchu went to the school without knowing what really happens in the area at the bathroom. The professor approach him but Rancho was a little afraid so he ran in the room and when the professor was counting on him, he creates an idea with the spoon that connected to electricity. In this idea, Rancho is very resourceful, he uses what he sees that would help him fix or create the idea that comes out in his mind. The students were laughing what the professor’s react during the pissed at the door where Rancho got inside. Of course, Raju and Farhan were amazed on the idea that he was made. At school, the dean of the college, Professor Viru “Virus” Sahastrabudhhe acted by Boman Irani was very strict, his professionalism towards his students is through his Excellency that he could be proud of. Students were afraid of him because of his standards and his approached to students. He is actually proud and overwhelmed with himself but when Rancho came in school, he actually found the challenge with him. As Professor Virus had his remarks to the new students, Rancho is not ashamed to ask about the pen that is valuable to the professor. The professor did not answer but he thinks that Rancho insulted him. I always find Rancho to be curios yet he knows what his curios are for.

The days has passed, little by little the friendship that they built are getting stronger. Rancho always thinks of fun with his friends. Though sometimes they make stupid things, they actually having fun comprises with learning. One day Rancho suddenly heard the talked between the student who was Joy Lobo and hopefully to graduate and Professor Virus, he is begging with the professor to check his project and passed him so that he could graduate. Suddenly the professor did not give him a chance rather talked to Lobo’s father that he could not graduate. He tries to beg the professor but the professor was very hard to convince. He loses hope so he throws his inventions to the garbage and get lost. Rancho get his invention, he observe and test it. Rancho actually amazed with his work though it could not fly. Rancho gives time with it to upgrade and fix the helicopter together with his friends Farhan and Raju. He fix the helicopter where is could fly by with a controller for the directions of the helicopter. Unfortunately, after Rancho finishes the helicopter, Lobo commits suicide because of the discouragement of his professor. Then, Rancho insulted again his Professor Virus because he believes that Lobo does not commit suicide but what happened to him is a murder. Rancho says that it was a murder because the professor did not considerate the feelings of the student. In this, Rancho is very kind and a helpful one.

In the main three characters somehow reflects to me. I was related with Farhan of being afraid to my parents. Though my parents did not force me to what course I will take, I am afraid with them because sometimes they are strict, always has limitations especially in late hours. Though I am stubborn sometimes, I obey my parents what they will command or request to me. If it is prohibited, I must not violate it instead follow what they wanted for the good to me. I am very much thankful that I have my parents who are very considerate and understandable especially when I have to attend an event in school and I went home late. Farhan is a very good friend of Raju and Rancho because he keeps their friendship with fun and really attached on what relationship they had. Farhan is not that weak though he cannot tell to his parents what he wants but still he promises to take the course what his father wants him to take. He is a kind son because he obeys his parents and also, he really takes good care the friendship he had with Rancho and Raju. I was able to reflect with Farhan because whatever my parents told me, I must follow it. I also take good care of friends because I am afraid to lose them. Though sometimes I have the attitude of being over acting, my friends really understands me.

The attitude of being weak is what I was reflected with Raju. He is very weak regarding with his thoughts, of being negative. I am also a negative thinker and that is my weaknesses. In this weakness I was able to hurt myself sometimes, I discriminate myself and sometimes I feel that I am nothing in this world. Raju was able to conquer his fears because he was influences by Rancho. I do not know if Rancho was not at Raju’s side maybe Raju will die because of the depression. Rancho is a very big influence to Raju because though Rancho is stupid sometimes, an idiot, he is a good friend of him. Rancho always finds a way to help his friend Raju to motivate and to be strong in every obstacle he had in his life. Raju is pressure with his life because of his family. He always thinks the situation of their family especially his father, who suffers so much pain. He really loves his family, which is why he goes to college, to finish studies and get a bigger salary that his mother is earning. Among the three, Raju was the poorest among them, he is not financially stable. No one does not loves their family, like Raju, I really loves my family; I always keep my promises for them, to raise them from poverty and to travel with them around the world. What I wanted for my family is to make them happy. Like Raju, we just want to free our family from poor quality that we had. Still I am happy though my family is striving crisis, because I believe that what important is, you are together with your family and you are having fun.

Rancho is different among the two because since birth Rancho loves in learning new things. He is a lucky person because though he did not the real Ranchoddas Shamaldas ChanChad, he was given a chance to go to school and learn many things that he wanted to learn. The father of the real Rancho was settled a contract. This contract was to use the name of Ranchoddas Shamaldas ChanChad because Rancho was really a brilliant child; he is studios rather than the real Rancho. Though is not good for both of them, still they took advantage each of them. Rancho is unique among the students of Imperial College of Engineering because he is the only one who would opposed to a professor, he says what he thinks, he never afraid what people may think of him as long as he believe with himself that he is right. Rancho to his friends, he is really a good friend because he always look for what is best to his friends. He really values the friendship that he had with Farhan and Raju. In the movie he bet Professor Virus that he is surely believes that his friends Farhan and Raju could get a job after they will graduate. My reflection with Rancho is being nice to my friends, though not always but I looked up what is best for my friends.

“All is Well” always comes out from the mouth of Rancho. If there is a difficult situation, he always says this quote. He believes that whatever circumstances may lead, if there is any obstacle he may encounter, he will just say this and he will be calm. “All is Well”, I believe that in this quote means everything will be ok. This is for calming a situation that you feel nervous as what Rancho showcase in the movie. I never forget in the movie was when the sister of Pia who is Mona will suddenly give birth to his child. That day, the rain was so heavy that the school was in flood and during that time Rancho, Farhan and Raju was caught red-handed with the copy of the questionnaire from Professor Virus. Then, that was forgotten when Mona is giving birth. They cannot bring Mona to the hospital because of the flood so Rancho together with his friends and students in the school help each other. They put Mona on the table tennis but suddenly, it was blocked out. Pia who was not in the school, uses the webcam to communicate with them. She is the one who will command Rancho what to do in delivering the baby. Mona gets weak, so Pia told Rancho to vacuum the baby. She demonstrate how it works by the video he was to show with them. Rancho thinks easily and has the idea of making a vacuum. He is very resourceful, as long as there is the material that must be needed in his creations; he would actually made the unique one. Rancho together with his friends they made their creations from generator to vacuum. Rancho tries to vacuum the baby, and it was successful. The baby comes out but it does not cry. They thought the baby was dead, they feel sad so the mother of the baby cries. Raju comfort Mona, and tell her their favorite quote “All is Well”, suddenly the baby kick the face of Rancho. Rancho was shocked and could not believe that the baby was alive and it responses because of that quote. All were very happy and embraces everyone. Professor Virus was also could not believe what happens but he actually salute the students on what they have done. What I like he said to the baby is, what you heart wants, follow it. Everyone shocked with the Professor but with that, they feel happy.

After Mona gave birth, Rancho was ready to go since he was rejected in school by Professor Virus because of cheating. Professor Virus stops Rancho and apologizes to him. He told Rancho that he was amazed with him but he says to him that he will not always be perfect, he also commit mistakes.
